JOIN TAMRON IN ALASKA! 

Get ready to check Alaska off your Top 10 list!  THIS is the tour for you.

Year after year, participants have said it themselves - "This is just SO magical!" and thus it inspired the name for this tour.  

Tamron USA, Inc. and Langell Photography, LLC have teamed up to bring you something uniquely magical and memorable!

Prepare to have a truly magical, private, small-group experience!  You will explore the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska with us as your Tamron Instructors along with Tamron Ambassador, Lisa Langell, take you to spectacular locations each day.  This unique region is often called "Alaska in Miniature" because virtually every Alaskan wildlife habitat type except Arctic tundra is represented here.  This tour will provide any nature-loving individual with an experience of a lifetime!  The crowd-free atmosphere gives you the peace, flexibility, mental and physical space to  photograph Alaska from your own unique point of view. In addition, your caring leader(s) are also experienced and skilled photographers who can help provide advice, instruction and guidance that enables you to capture incredible images of Alaska through your (Tamron) lens! This truly is a world-class experience.

Our beautiful and private lodge sits along the world-famous Kenai River and offers ample photography opportunities throughout the property--including wildlife, wildflowers, riverscapes and more.  Each day, you will be treated to incredibly delicious meals crafted by our private chef that feature a variety of fresh and local ingredients.  These dishes are highly rated by our guests and we have been told they are worth the trip itself!  Interested in catching one of the millions of salmon that pass by your front door?  We will even teach you how to fish right from our dock!   This incredibly unique experience sets the Magic of Alaska tour far apart from the competition and it is truly unlike any other photography tour offered in Alaska.

• We typically see 50-90 species of wildlife - including moose, bear, eagles, puffins, whales and more
• Only 6 participants on each wonderfully private, one-of-a-kind, first class adventure
• Journey by boat, plane, SUV, and if you choose - even a dogsled - to capture dramatic images
• You are never without support!  Lisa Langell will be there with one of her personally trained photography guides.  You will be joined by either guide (and sometimes both) on each daily excursion and at the lodge throughout the tour.  Both will offer tailored photographic guidance and support.  This is in addition to the boat captains, bear guides and other experts that will be supporting your experience
• This incredible experience is designed to be original and unlike any other photography tour offered in Alaska
